I found this album in my local record store back in '87 and purchased it and King Diamond's Abigail album at the same time. It doesn't need to be stated which album would go on to be considered a classic and which one would fade into obscurity. That doesn't make this a bad album though, I thought the 1st side showed potential at the time.

I bought this album as soon as I saw it in my local store because I had seen the video above on TV one night and loved their style but I was disappointed that not every track was as aggressive as the title track. However, looking back now, I remember that there were several very good power metal tracks on this album, such as #2, 3, 5, 6, 7 & 10.

This band is from Portland, Oregon, and this album was the 1st that I had heard from them even though they had 2 previous releases that were much more glam metal. This album has several moments of heaviness and while it doesn't always hit the mark I like it quite a bit anyway. Highly underrated metal from the latter half of the '80s.

I didn't hear this album until long after it came out, sometime in the late '90s and by that time I had moved on to death metal, so I never gave this much attention even though I really liked their first album. However, here in later years as I wax all nostalgic I have taken the time to get to know this album and it is really pretty good if you were into these guys like I was.
